04/15/2019 Let The Weak Say I Am Strong-Be Courteous & Understand Parable of Talents-Have COINSPlus Re-Evaluate Portfolio
I just returned from 2 weeks inn Costa Rica serving God in the rain forests and truly appreciating one of the worlds smallest countries with the greatest number of species. WOW.
On this show I discussed the effect that electronic communication has played in affecting the millennial inability to communicate. They are literally afraid to just talk-perhaps because they cant “unfriend” you if their feelings get hurt. We discussed the fact that every single human being is endowed by God with a specific set of talents and abilities, however, we feel inferior because we compare ourselves to others. We only have God to speak to as far as our performance goes relating to our talents. It is intriguing that God gave us what He created us to handle. It is most interesting that the man with one talent resented the master, hid the talent(perhaps attempted to steal it), and told the master he didn’t deserve to have it anyway. When employees steal, they always vilify their employers to justify their theft. We have personally experienced this.
I discussed the importance of courtesy towards one another.
[Tit 3:2 NASB] 2 to malign no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing every consideration for all men.
[Mat 7:12 NASB] 12 "In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
[Eph 4:32 KJV] 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
There are countless more verses to justify this. I believe Courtesy, respect and dignity are lost arts as the world grows colder, harder and more distant from one another-much of this likely due to electronic communication.
Lastly, I discussed the ever dropping spending power of the dollar due to hyper-inflation that has continued since FDR, accelerated drastically under Obama and is a runaway train under Trump. As times change, I am encouraging clients to have their portfolios re-evaluated as things are in a state of financial communication as absolutely no one watches the gate. Precious metals make sense but some rare coins may have peaked and are prepared to be realigned depending upon the individuals portfolio and long term goals.
